hey gals its me !! I am not weighing in this week I will weigh in next week because I forgot to weigh in and I also know that my weight is up from this weekend because I had a sodium feast this weekend but I stayed within calories and I know my weight is up at least 5 pounds because of the sodium.Its my anniversary tomorrow so we celebrated this weekend.I'm not worried about the gain because I am drinking tons of fluid today so I know it will be back down soon.
Thanks Meook and LittleSpy for checking on me it shows me you care.

Hey Ann, thanks for the new thread. Good to see you today.
I have been inspired today!!! hopefully it sticks. I was watching some chick on tv who claimed she went from a size 12 to a 4. What is that like 4 sizes? She said she did it in 6 weeks. I know that 4 sizes in 6 weeks is unrealistic for your average person without a personal trainer. But 1 maybe 2 sizes is not. Every year I go to a family church camp, it is 6 weeks away. There are people there that I only see this 1 time a year. I have decided that I want to be down 1 pants size by then. Preferably 2, but I will feel as if I have been successful if I am able to drop 1. Why not? Last year when I went I wore 1 pants size bigger than I do now, so I am already better than last year I would just like to be even better. I think I told you all this last year, that they all have a hill they walk up everyday and I could never do it. Last year I was able to walk up that hill. I want to be even fitter this year walking up that hill. Here is my new shiny for right now!!!!! Wish me luck!!!!!0 -
Bluenote, you have come too far to quit on us now. We need you!!! You are our comic relief. Besides you are our weight loss sister and we won't let you quit. We have faith in you, You are able to overcome and move forward. Also you are so worth the effort.

Just a quick weekend check in on the new thread. Thanks Awestfall, glad to have you back with us and I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your celebration !1
Lildebbie, Bluenote - keep your heads up and just move forward, there is no going back :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Check in for Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
Ate huge amounts of calories on Fri & Sat and loved it!!!!! Don't feel guilty at all because I burned over 1200 calories each day in exercise so I didn't even come close to eating my goals. I ate about 2000 cals each day and had about 800 to spare each day. I felt like I really at a lot but looking back on my past behavior it was not close to what I WAS eating.
Sunday - will be way under again because of 1000 exercise cals to add in.
Water - really good all 3 days
Exercise - Heavy duty gardening for several hours each day in the hot sun, shoveling dirt, swinging a pick axe moving large rocks etc.....I am so sore!!!!!
If anybody needs to up their exercise - come on over there's more work to be done!!!!
Proud that I can actually sustain a level of activity for several hours that would have wiped me out in 20 mins last year.
Hope you all have a great Monday, I won't be able to stalk again until Tuesday
xoxoxoxox0 -
jlb- I KNEW you'd cave into those fried bananas :laugh: glad you enjoyed them!!
momma- I am SOOO happy you found your mojo! Good luck!
As for me- Being out of commission last week excercise wise has me on a downer but Im hoping to get back into the swing of things this week. Hopefully I'll lose something for my BL competition on Tuesday but if the scale is being accurate its not looking too good.
I was under cals both Sat and Sunday- but not Friday thanks to my cheesesteak (and it didnt taste as good as I remember)
water- good the entire weekend although not as much as I get during the week
sodium- under 2500 (not friday obviously)
excercise- not a damn thing ...i suck
proud- not really
Cris0 -
proud- not really
Cris
cris - I AM PROUD OF YOU. Just look at where that is on your ticker! It didn't get there overnight! So you didn't exercise. Make tomorrow different. You're my hero!!! :flowerforyou:
check in:
calories: good
water: 96
exercise: full monty
proud: I went to our Polish picnic today and danced with my cousins. They all needed to stop dancing the polka with me long before I was pooped out! That made me feel really good. Last year at the picnic I didn't even dare do the polka with them because I was too exhausted just walking to the picnic!

Momma, I will never quit! I am just very anxious over the 75 number. I pray I pass that darn number this week and that it will all be in the past!0 -
Glad to see everybody is doing well on this Sunday! I haven't counted calories since Thursday or Friday...can't remember and I'm too lazy to check. I'm down to 214 this morning! And that's after TOM hit hard and another night of beer drinking! Hopefully I can hit my goal this week!!0

Kdub - Great Job on the loss! You are doing awesome.
Jess - That is great that you are down today! I forget to count sometimes too.
Cris - Don't get down on yourself. It takes some time to get back from being sick and with your son being sick I am sure it is even more difficult. I haven't really been exercising much. I am going to try really hard this week to start. You have done a great job so far don't let the no exercise get you down.
Glad to hear that everyone is doing great today! Talk to you all tomorrow!
Check in:
Calories : Over :frown:
Sodium: I am sure it will be over.
Exercise 45 walk with my husband
Proud: When I put my belt on this morning I was able to go down one notch!!! I haven't done that in a looooong time!! :happy: 0 -
Hello gals ...
I am ready for this week to start ...its a new month !!0 -
hey gals.... checking in... kind of.. :ohwell:
Have not been counting calories.. just have been trying to make good choices and not eating unless I am truly hungry. At any rate, I am loosing inches WOOT!!!
My husband and I started the pond today... Looks like it will be in the neighborhood of 1300 gallons with a 5ft waterfall.. OMG my husband can never do anything small. So, lots of digging but then the rain came and well.. back at it tomorrow we will see how far we get!0 -
Hello ladies! I have big news...I am officially in ONEDERLAND!!! Woohoo! I weighed in today at 197.4, 4 lbs down from last Monday. I am loving it!
This weekend has been good. I've gotten back on my exercise groove and burned a bunch of calories on Saturday and Sunday. I had plenty of exercise calories left over on both days, and got at least 80 oz of water in each day.
Hope you all have a great Monday!0 -

Good to see you!!!! I have always wanted a pond, but I have always had small children and I am a freak with kids around water. Just can't help it. My sister and bro do not want me around when the kids are swimming because between the 3 of us there are 11 kids and I can't even have a conversation because all that I am doing is counting heads every 2 seconds. Good luck on that pond. Digging burns tons of calories.0 -
I think that's totally realisticI have decided that I want to be down 1 pants size by then. Preferably 2, but I will feel as if I have been successful if I am able to drop 1. Why not? Last year when I went I wore 1 pants size bigger than I do now, so I am already better than last year I would just like to be even better.

I want to be even fitter this year walking up that hill. Here is my new shiny for right now!!!!! Wish me luck!!!!!
After all you will sometimes lose inches when there have been no weight losses so down a pant size in 6 weeks should be no problem 
So after an induction that started at 8am friday...progressing to 9cm dilated by MIDNIGHT Saturday, and staying there until 2am saturday My nephew was born by c-section at 3:10am weighing 7lbs 7oz I was keeping up with my sister in laws birth through text messages right up until he was born, there was NO way I could sleep with all the anticipation. The birth announcement was text at 5am and we had to be up and gone to the market a couple hours after that so I just stayed up. We went to the market and walked around for an hour or so, and then went and bough a ton of newborn outfits for my nephew and a couple things for my older nephew [learned from my oldest that when they get something it makes the transition easier] He just turned two and he's going to be a fantastic big brother. I felt terrible cause this little guy should be coming home to 2 big brothers[oldest is a twin, but his brother passed away a day after he was born
] Instead we shared thoughts about Avery and how we knew he was there every minute of that day in spirit! Needless to say when I got home at 11pm that night I passed out :yawn: Today we went shopping and went to see my grandparents for a while. They offered to take my toddler for a few days soon so I'm pretty excited about that [I LOVE her, but it would be nice to only have the break from her little active, constantly talking self :laugh: ]
So ready to start off May the RIGHT way!! Have a fridge and freezer FULL of nutritious foods and my energy and motivation is back in high gear!! Here's to a new month ladies :happy:0 -
I can feel all the positiveness and motivation in the posts last night! Let's start May off right!! :bigsmile: We've got Elmox who is is onderland! Who's gonna be next!? I feel like the race is on! Talk to y'all later! I'm late for work! :laugh:0

Awestfall: thanks for the new thread and have fun on your anniversary ;-)
Littledeb and Blutenote, what is this I hear about giving up?? There is no such thing as giving up…unless you are giving up on life…and I know for sure that is not what you guys want. It is a new month and a new beginning. The best part through this journey is we have each other every step of the way…the highs and lows of life..please don’t give up!!!
Momma: I am glad you found inspiration..losing a pant size ( or maybe 2 pant sizes) is doable..have faith and we will help motivate you..just believe you can do it..and I know for sure you can
Cris: Look at how far you have come and How much you’ve lost? More than me and I have been here longer than you… Ok you have not exercised is a couple of days..you don’t want to do too much while your body is recovering. Start slow and work your way back to where you were..don’t thing about giving up too…I need all my MFP sistas
Jib: did you get your new shoes and how do they feel on your feet? I heard a lot of great reviews on those shoes..especially from Dr. OZ. Let us know what you think. Ooo before I forget, i think you mentions that you started or about to restart C25K…well I was going to restart again today…have fun girl
Elmox: Congrats on being Onederland!!!
Kdub: congrats to breaking the 220 mark!
Meokk: WOW!!1 you are burning calories like crazy…I see a big loss in your future
Jess: OMG…you are so close to being Onderland!!! I can see it within the next few weeks..I had better step up my game…lol
Jesyka: Congrats on the new addition to the family
Raider: Congrats to a smaller waist…lol! Keep it up
If I forgot anyone...so sorry
be back later after I upload my food/exercise for the past 3 days...0 -
Good mornign girls,
Still feeling kind of blah, now my fiance is sick, baby still isnt back to 100% and I have a sore throat. I cant even remember the last time the 3 of us were all healthy, frankly its exhausting! I love my lil man though I dont know how I spent 25 years without him in my life. He's started saying lots more words and yesterday it was "yellow"...super cute.
So here are my MAY motivations:
1. according to my mini goals I need to be at 199 by May 31st- scale this morning was back to 204.8 which was my friday weigh in
2. I need to remember that I am doing this for my son and fiance - so that I can have a healthy LONG life with them
3. Its getting HOT outside and I want to wear shorts and tank tops but Im still too big for that!! So I better get a move on!
4. 2 months until my 6 year anniversary with my fiance and I want to be HOT HOT HOT when that day comes
5. I have 3 more weigh ins before the BL at the gym is done and I need to lose at least another 5lbs to make sure I win!
Like so many other people said- its a new MONTH, lets get to it!!!
Be back later to stalk **arhem** I mean check in
Cris0 -
Duh, I forgot to add.....
Bluenote- Thanks for believing in me and reminding me of my hard work thus far.
Raider- That's so exciting about your belt!!! Congrats!!!:drinker: I tried on a belt that I used to wear in college and it was no where near fitting, I didnt know I was that small in college! My goal is to have it fit again! Great job and congrats again!:flowerforyou:
Elmox- YAY!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!! We love having a member cross over into ONDERLAND!!! Great job! :drinker:
Jess- you are right! The race is on.....I think jlb is next but I am gonna try to beat her to it, hehe I think that will push her a little harder...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I sorry I know Im a posting fool...
pos-me- Thanks for the pep talk! I guess its anoying me that I worked so hard to get my endurance to a certain level but now I feel like Im starting all over. But I guess I have to listen to my body and hope it cooperates as I try to get back into my routine. Dont worry, I am not going anywhere..just needed a pity party I suppose
cogirl- Wow, your pond sounds fantastic...please please come do our yard! It really needs help!!!0 -
I haven't caught up on posts - just wanted to stop by, bump this new one onto my lists and let you all know that Millie passed away on Saturday, with all of us around her. She was beautiful until the end - when her (snobby) sister in law stopped by that morning we where all impressed at how Millie has a smoother face and better color than her SIL, while on her death bed! (and we told her that as soon as SIL left - I think Millie heard us). She was able to talk to us through Thursday AM, and she responded to touch and voice up into Friday night. The palliative care nurses kept her comfortable, increasing her morphine as her pain increased. It's nice to know she wasn't hurting.
Now we have to work to make sure George is as OK as a 92 yr. old widower can be. He's been with Millie for 75 years (married for 71). He's like a little lost sheep.
(sorry so depressing)
I didn't do bad, ate lots and lots of apples. Friday night we went to Ray's Place with Ken's kids (they came in from CA and GA to be here) and I did OK, half a turkey Reuben and some sweet potato fries, and a big tall beer :ohwell:
Oh- Millie was an alcoholic - the cute little old lady kind that seemed able to keep it from messing up her life. I brought a bottle of good Gin to the hospital and swabbed out her mouth with it a few times instead of the boring lemon water. She would clamp her lips down on the Gin and suck it off the sponge- there was a definite look of delight on her face! That was my little rebellious reaction to death.0 -
elmox -- congratulations!!! That's such an exciting thing! I will probably cry when I get there, just because.. well, I've never really seen my weight start with a 1 (I mean, obviously I did when I was a little kid, but it didn't mean anything to me then).
cris -- boooo to being sick, I hope your family feels better soon. I have a feeling you will beat me to onederland because TOM just started full force (yeah, apparently he needed 2.5 days to really warm up) and you guys don't even want to know what the scale is saying to me right now. :laugh:
posme -- I got my shoes Thursday night & I love them. I've done 2 2 mile runs and some dancing & circuit training in them so far. They're taking some getting used to but every time I wear them they're more comfortable. My patellar tendinitis is GONE! I had been in chronic pain for 3 weeks and all it took was changing my running form to get it to go away. I didn't have to whimper climbing the stairs at work this morning for the first time in nearly a month. :laugh:
I'm not even going to check in for yesterday. It would be a guess anyway. I keep letting my darn boyfriend talk me into very bad food choices on the weekends. At least I'm eating very small portions of the bad stuff and not carrying it over into the week.
I tried 3 new workout videos yesterday. I enjoyed all of them so I think I'm going to start using ExTV OD more often to workout just to switch stuff up more. I'm also still planning to join Planet Fitness but I haven't been by there to see when they're opening. I think at the end of May. It's a bare bones gym so I won't have classes or anything like that, but having all the different cardio & weight training equipment to use will be nice.0 -
mstahl- I am so sorry. I hope you find solace in the fact that you and your family were able to be with her during her last few minutes and that you were able to make her good bye peaceful and enjoyable. God bless you.
Cris0 -
mstahl-I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. Glad you and the family were able to be with her. Hope you can help ease George into his new lifestyle. My heart is with you and your family.
Cris-You just can't catch a break with you and your family being healthy. Sounds like your son is bringing home lots of germs from the daycare. I hope you are able to find him a better place soon. Then you can all 3 be in good health together! I agree with easeing back into your workout routine. I'm going to have to do that after I get back from my vacation I feel. I struggle with the 25 minute run currentley. It's giong to kill me when I come back home. Espeically after 5 days of eating out and all the cheese, oh my!! :bigsmile:
LitlteSpy-I guess if TOM going to hold off for you it's going to get ya with a beating! I did the biggest loser last chance workout dvd this morning, it's been so long since I have done strength training it nearly killed me! By the last circuit I was laying on the ground! :sick: So glad you are likeing your new shoes!
ColoradoGirl-Your pond sounds amazing! I don't have a house but if I ever buy one you are more then welcome to come help with the yard! HAHA! Glad to see you around and trying to stay on track!
2 work days, 1 day off and then I'm headed to Wisconsin! WOOHOO!! I'm ready for a vacation!! I'm trying something new this week. I'm going to start eating my exercise calories. I want to shoot for eating net 1200 calories! I usually eat 1200 and no exercise cals. Lets hope for th best!
P.S. Did Heather weigh in last week? I don't think I saw her!
Let's make May a fantastic month! Lets all work our butts off and see how much weight we can loss all together!0 -
Oh Heather where are youuuuuuuuuuu....I dont think she would leave us so she must have had something going on Friday that she couldnt come and weigh in...Let's give her til this afternoon to check in then we'll start the stalking!
Jess- I am attempting week6 day 3 today, I am really scared but I am going to keep in mind that you are ahead of me and hopefully I can push through again :laugh: :laugh: I need a vacation too, I might ask my parents to watch the lil guy next Friday or something so I can freaking sleep past 7am!0 -
Mstahl: I am so sorry to hear about your loss...My thoughts and prayer are with you and your family in this sad time.
Cris: sorry to hear your family is sick...I think you need to find a different daycare..hope you find a great one soon
jess: omg, in 3 days you are leaving us to go Wisconsin..Have a safe and enjoyable vacation...I will miss you
Litspy: nice to hear you LOVE your new shoes..and before you know it you will be back to weighloss mode...don't stress about the gain. And it's nice to hear you ate smaller portions of you favorite meals...My hubby, every weekend, tries to persuade me into eating not so healthy meals...sometimes it works ( and i will eat a few bites) but sometimes i stick to my guns and say NO because my health is much more important than those unhealthy foods.
I went to the doctor a couple of days ago ( for my allergies) and my blood results were ready so the doc wanted to talk to me about a couple of issues...well to my suprise the doctor said i have high cholesterol and on the verge of diabetes..because both run deep in both sides of my family ( my mother and all my uncles and aunts have diabetes and cholesterol and so does my father's side..but my father doesn't have dibetes) the scareed the living daylights out of me...I don't want to be one of those people who has to inject insulin every day ( which is what my mother does) and i don't want to rely on medication...I want to change with diet and exercise and not with medication...I made a vow to myself ( because i don't want to be a victim) that within 6 months ( that is when i go back for my blood testing) my results will be better than they have ever been..
Never did i think i would ever get high cholesterol and dibetes especially becasue i hve been eating right and exercising for the past year...and especially at my age 31y/o...but this will give me the motivation to work 10 times harder than i have ever worked...Here is for the month of May...I will fight this...for myself, my kids and my family...0 -
Cris-You are going to end week 6 with a bang and a sense of accomplishment! I know it! You can do it!
POS Me-That is pretty scary I can imagine hearing that. My family is known for diabetes as well. This was just the motivation you were looking for! Get it girl! I will be leaving Thursday morning at 4 AM to make the drive to Wisconsin. I'll be in the car for about 22 hours each way. I was hoping to have a computer to use but I don't think that's going to be it. I will have my iPhone so I can still stalk but probably not long messages. I don't have the patience for that! LOL
So. I broke down and had McDonalds this morning for breakfast. I feel like I want to pass out I'm so sleepy now. This is what fast food does to people!! Where is my protein and fiber! I made the wrong choice today! GRR!! :explode:0 -
pos_me- Im sorry about your bad news. It seems like you have a great plan in place to avoid making this an ugly cycle for your fmaily. We will be here to support you every step of the way
Jess- I need to go look up quotes to get me pumped up for the run. I need all the motivation I can get! As for your bfast...dont dwell on it. It was a bad choice now get over it and move on! (Im not going to lie, I want one now too)
